“Children and Teens: Statistics.” RAINN, http://www.rainn.org/statistics/children-and-teens.“Sexual Assault and Abuse Against Women: What You Need To Know.”

This site just shows many statistics about men and women assaulted in the United States. It is created by Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network (RAINN) and they are the largest anti-sexual violence organization.  

This source is reliable because it is made and run purely by people who are against sexual violence. There is not ads on the site so they are not there for money, which means that they are a non-profit just trying to help Americans know about the world.

I used the source as one of two sources showing the lack of agreement for how many men are sexually harassed each year. I used the second bullet point.

WebMD, WebMD, http://www.webmd.com/sexual-conditions/guide/sexual-abuse-and-assault#1.“Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center.” 

This site shows the definition of sexual abuse and assault.

WebMD is trustworthy for the vaguest definitions. It does not give accurate diagnoses but knows what the major definitions.

I used this as definitions for what sexual abuse and harassment are.

Male Survivors of Sexual Assault | Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center, sapac.umich.edu/article/53.

This site is made by the University of Michigan. It shows basic statistics about sexual assault for men, and tells that it is likely that there are more but guys don’t report. It also gives some reasons as to why men don’t report.

This is a trustworthy site because it shows what college it is from. The college would not allow its site to have false information if their name is on the site simply due to the fact that they want to protect their reputation. This site is reputable.

I used this site as the basis for my sexual assault argument. I used the stats that they used in the first paragraph and a couple of their reasons why men are not reporting.
